I have loved to wear my daughter since the first day she was born. I am still wearing her even now at two years old and 28 pounds.  With a good, supportive carrier that you are comfortable in you can barely feel your baby…seriously! How do you think people were able to wear their babies for thousands of years before we had strollers?!

Babywearing week

There are many benefits of babywearing! Among them: babies who are worn cry less and actually become independent FASTER! If you have a colicky baby…wear them! Want to get stuff done…wear your baby!

Use what works for you! For some it’s a soft structured carrier or ring sling and others love to wrap! Do some research and find something that you like and give it a try. If you are worried about not liking the carrier, I’ve found they are fairly simple to resell. So little to lose by trying it and SO MUCH to gain <3

Nicki’s Diapers and Mom’s Milk Boutique have a nice selection of wraps and Soft Structured Carriers for you to check out! The Nicki’s link has lots of great info on the pros and cons of each carrier.

    We love babywearing! My son instantly calms down the second I wrap him up or put him in the SSC. We just got our very first Tula, and can’t wait to get another one!

    I cannot recommend highly enough that anyone having trouble wearing or wanting to try wearing should look for a baby wearing group in their area. It helps immensely to have in person help adjusting your carrier. That’s what made the difference for me and many of the people I know and made us true baby wearing lovers because someone else was able to help us make sure that we were wearing the carrier correctly. If someone doesn’t have a lot of money upfront but wants to try a carrier, Heavenly Hold has an online service where you can rent a carrier for two weeks. It’s very inexpensive, and they’re wonderful to work with. They have many different styles available to rent.

    Hi, I’m dying to have a tula for my 5 month old colicky baby! He’s our 7th child and our hardest child. Where can I find one for under $100!? Can a mei tie be made into a tula?

    I could probably use some advice. I only wore my baby (my second daughter) when she was extremely colicky because I didn’t like it very much. No matter what I used (I have a moby wrap, a sling, and an infantino), my back and shoulders would hurt. I also found it very difficult to get things done. I couldn’t do dishes because I couldn’t reach the sink with the baby there (I’m short); if I had to pick things up off the floor, I had to hold my hand on the baby so she wouldn’t fall out; I couldn’t stand or sit comfortably; all I could do was walk around. Because of that, I wore her as little as possible. Any advice for me for next time?

      Hi Ashley, I’m glad you asked! Everyone is shaped differently, both the wearer and the wearee! That is why not all carriers are for everyone. And like anything, not all carriers are created equal. Like I mentioned there are lots of places to sell carriers, even locally like on craigs list. I went through five carriers and then i found one that felt like wearing white fluffy clouds. I’d tell you which one but I’m broad and tall (5’8″) SO I don’t think the same one would be good for you. Maybe look into a Beco, ergo or even a tula. Let me know if I can help!

        Thanks for the advice. People are always saying how it’s such a good thing to wear your baby, and I almost feel guilty for not liking it.
